horror Sign in to your CBR account Traditionally, movie killers, especially slashers and horror, have been men, starting with Norman Bates in Psycho. Even though Norman did a lot of his killing dressed like his mother, he was still a man in the clothes of his dead mother. The All-Boys Slasher Club, however, has had credible challenges from some truly frightening female killers. Upsetting the patriarchy of Leatherface and Freddy Kruger, these ground (and skull) breaking women have slaughtered...

horror Sign in to your CBR account Some stories are simply too good to be contained within a single film, and that's especially true in the horror genre. Many film tales of terror have been remade, sometimes as a cash grab, but mostly because these classics are timeless. It doesn't always make sense to attempt rebooting an iconic movie, but often, a fresh take on a classic can be more original than a derivative new property. They're some of the biggest and longest-running franchises, but...

The Lord of the Rings Sign in to your CBR account Director Peter Jackson has one of the most fascinating career trajectories in that he started out making gory low-budget exploitation films and then went into big-money epic franchises, with very little transition. The reason for this seemingly impossible leap from obscure cult movies to mainstream success is as simple as the hard work he put in to make it happen. Jackson is most famous for The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies, but he...

TV Sign in to your CBR account In the Golden Age of television on cable and streaming, shows are more intense and involved than anything previously offered on the broadcast networks. While this is great for the viewers, the downside is that too often fans become fully invested in a series only to have it abruptly canceled, oftentimes on a big meaty cliffhanger. Sadly, the epic storylines of horror and sci-fi shows are most frequently victims of this blindsiding. Viewers, particularly in key...

Movies Sign in to your CBR account Bruce Campbell is not a typical actor, but more of a brand with an infectious over-the-top personality that has drawn a legion of fans. His style is a parody of heroism, with equal parts confidence and incompetence. His persona is brash as well as kind of obnoxious, but also self-deprecating and ultimately engaging. Though Campbell did have an interest in acting, his career started by accident, or perhaps fate, when his high school friend Sam Raimi decided...

There are, however, some major differences between what the show was...
